Ducksters Education Site for Kids

An educational site covering subjects such as history, science, geography, math, and biographies. Pages are written to be easy to read and understand. Activities including games, sports, movies, music, and more. It really is kid-friendly, and what I like most about it is that it cites all the sources it uses in its articles.
